I'm trying to create a new MFC project using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
When I chose File --> New --> Project, I did NOT find MFC!
How can I add this feature?
Thanks.
VS2005 Express doesn't include purposely excludes MFC or ATL. For that, you gotta' pay. Same with VS2008 Express.
Express Edition limited something there. I cant find MFC on Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. Try to get the Professional version.

I am working on a Source Mod, and it requires that I use Microsoft Visual C++ Express, and the compiler that goes with it. However, all of the links that Google brings up just redirect me to the newer Visual Studio Community.
Does anyone know where I can still install Visual C++ Express 2010 on my computer?
VS 2010 Express Edition is no longer available from Microsoft downloads.
You can still find VS 2012 Express for Windows Desktop, VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop, and there is a VS 2015 Express for Windows Desktop but generally the VS 2013 Community or VS 2015 Community editions are a much better experience and have better support for tools and features that were only in the professional products previously which is why searches are pointing you to it.
I would like to use both Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop on the same computer. What's a good way to accomplish this?
I imagine that installing Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition on a computer that already has Visual Studio Express 2013 installed would cause unexpected errors and break the current installation, or the installation would fail automatically because there already is a newer version installed.
The reason why I want both is because there is a lot of learning material written for both the 2005 and the 2013 editions. There are more programming books written for the 2005 edition actually.
I essentially want to know how I can isolate the two and still use them both in parallel without any problems caused by conflicting files, registry keys, environment settings, etc.
I would like to make a template for F# lib + XNA 4.0 + Xbox360 for visual studio 2012.
All I have is Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition for Web.
When I try to install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK, it stops after reporting that it requires Visual Studio 2012. The log seems to indicate it's looking for the Professional edition.
I'm not interested in buying a professional license for hobby work, and I am a bit surprised Microsoft would want to prevent hobbyists from extending their product.
I do have a professional license for Visual Studio 2010, though. If there's a way to make extensions for 2012 using 2010, that would work for me.
You can use VS2010 to develop extension compatible with VS2012.
All you have to do is to manually change vsixmanifest to make it work with newer version:
<SupportedProducts>
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
Note however that Visual Studio Express does not support extensions, so you won't be able to install it in VS2012 Express anyway.
Disclaimer: I am a total beginner to Visual Basic but code a bit in python and Drupal
I need to compile this C++ app (http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=227253). I succesfully cloned from git, but how do I compile it (get the .exe) in Visual Basic 2008 or 2010 Express?
I have tried this:
1. Open Visual Basic 2008 Express, File, New, Windows Form Application (naive assumption, which should I choose?)
2. Dragged the contents of the git clone into the Solution Explorer Window (which Adds files)
3. Click Build menu
After that I'm lost. Any help is appreciated! This project uses cmake if that helps.
You need Visual C++, not Visual Basic. They are separate languages.
You cannot compile a C++ program in Visual Basic 2008 Express.
You must download Visual C++. Or purchase Visual Studio 2010 Pro (which includes all of VB, C++, C# and the web tools).
If you've got the bandwidth, I'd encourage you to get this .iso:

If you're interested in the "bleeding edge", MSVS 2011 beta is available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/downloads
Otherwise, if you just want to compile some C+ code on a Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, get this:

I learned via Wikipedia that Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition does not ship with support for MFC projects. Does anyone know if the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 distribution ships with MFC support ? I imagine MFC versions for Win 7 are incomplete, but I only require basic/legacy MFC support for Win XP/Vista.
Thanks
Yes, VS2010 Beta 1 includes MFC.
(I checked via File / New / Project / Visual C++ and there's MFC in the list of available project types.)
But that doesn't necessarily mean that VS2010 Express will include it, of course.
I believe that final Express Edition of Visual Studio 2010 will be distributed without MFC since Express Edition is free. If you are planning to develop MFC projects you should buy at least Standard Edition of Visual Studio.
